VSCode Remote SSH for On-Call

Remote SSH editing on production hosts.

Usage

Open SSH host directly in VSCode.

Edit files; run terminal; debug as if local.

Remote editing on prod hosts is risky.

Read-only by preference; write only when explicitly required.

File changes leave SSH session log.

Combine with bastion logging for compliance.
